A visualization that tells the story of the Delaware River Basin (DRB). The people and industries that live in the DRB need water, and the riverways and estuary where the river meets the ocean supports important ecosystems that have special species and habitat. In order for humans, society, and ecosystems to all get the water they need, the system needs to stay balanced - no one takes more than they need, and we release what extra we have back into the basin.
